Behind every personal and professional accomplishment is a story. The Follow-Through Factor is the result of hundreds of accounts of trip-ups, screw-ups, and successes on the way from idea to achievement. A strange thing happens as you tell the tale of running your obstacle course. You, and your audience, become hooked on your story and the notion of abandoning it becomes unthinkable. So whether you are temporarily baffled by a hurdle, or whether you’ve found a way over or around it, I’d love to hear about it.
